A quick update - I am due for a second blood test and urine analysis next week and my Dr has now arranged an Ultra Sound before the end of year.

Keep us posted on results. I too had a kidney ultra sound for related reason.

I finally had my Ultrasound and had to wait for a week for the results and talk it over with a Dr. Kidney all ok but a small enlargement of the bladder. Tried to discuss the low GFR of 48mL/m/1.73m (UK) and high Serum Potassium of 4.8mmol/L and high Serum Sodium of 141mmol/L without success - was told to have another blood & urine test in six months time.Then I asked about the Serum TSH level (Thyroid) of 5.04mlU/L highlighted as abnormal, again the same reply. I am trying to watch my diet now and go for more walks and thanks to this community I feel I can cope a bit better now x

Good they are doing more bloodwork for you. Then you can get a better idea of where you are.
